No polls have caused any problems.

I simply contact Robert when things get out of hand and he does me a favor, that's all.

If you notice, Robert hardly mettles in the polls affairs, unless I contact him.

Most polls do what they are suppose to do, gain attention and get people to vote. Plain and simple.

Your last poll suggestion was one of the most successful polls on DR1. In a matter of 3 to 4 days over 70 votes were cast, over 1,000 views were created, and plenty of commentary was posted. That is a success anyway anyone tries to see it.

After I had placed my clarification notice, DR1ers started to veer off topic, once I made Robert aware of the situation he eliminated the off topic posts, and he did the best thing he could have done, close the thread. The poll had served its purpose, no need to continue with the "cat fights".

In a way, I am moderating the polls forum in an indirect way. Every action Robert has made on this forum (and they have been few) have occured at my suggestion. Well then, why does he not make me the official moderator then?

It has to do with a comment CC made in which he made a beautiful connection between me being a moderator and how that would give off a bad vibe on Robert's ability to come to reason and make his own opinion on something. In other words, CC effectively convinced Robert that his original decision to make me a moderator was a flaw in his character, Robert bought into the idea and decided to change his original decision and impose the decision CC had in mind.

That is why I was removed as an official moderator (at least from what I can tell). Despite that, whenever things get out of control, I begin to react like a typical moderator would and while I don't have direct access to moderate any poll, I do have access to Robert and he does the moderating for me in his best judgement.

Of course, I don't question Robert's ability to come to his own conclusions about anything or anyone on this site. Robert manages to run a superb web site (along with Dolores and others), why should I undermine his decision on anything else? He has a mind of his own and he knows how to use it as far as I am concerned.

From what I can tell, some of his closest friends may not think in the same manner and they have quite an influence over him.

Well, let's get back to topic.
